Hi Hans, all,
Between parts of non modulated carrierI receive a small piece of CW telemetry of XW-2E on 145.910 +-3 Doppler shift during the last pass over western Europe (BJ1SF is the callsign of XW-2E) : BJ1SF DFH XW2 then BJ1SF DFH XW2 XW2 AAA
As defunct XW-2E was deleted from the Celestrak data base used by GPredict, create a file named "40909.sat" in the ~/.config/Gpredict/satdata directory with :
[Satellite] VERSION=1.1 NAME=XW-2E NICKNAME=XW-2E TLE1=1 40909U 15049L 18196.46936794 .00000813 00000-0 44380-4 0 9999 TLE2=2 40909 97.4556 201.1699 0012256 291.4063 68.5862 15.17084954155908
(tle from Space-Track)
Have fun withe Wiwang-2E, 73 !

Laugh all you want. GPredict doesn't have an entry for XW2E, so I tuned by hand..........to the wrong frequency. And the pass was an 85 degrees elevation one, so perfect for getting a good strong signal. Murphy's law. In the end I did see some telemetry on 145.890, same as yesterday, but I couldn't detect any CW beacon.

Thanks Scott. I turned back the clock on my phone to 0547UTC and ran my tracker and XW2E was indeed right over my QTH at that time. Will try again today to see if I can get any telemetry out of the CW beacon. On DK3WN there is a report from a Japanese ham who decoded it on July 12th.
Cheers,
Hans

Hello!
As others have mentioned, this is XW-2E. Here is a tweet w/ screen shot that I posted the other day showing ALL of the transmitters doing more-or-less the same thing:

Thanks for the hint. The frequencies are indeed of XW2E and around that time almost all the XW2 sats came flying over. The screenshot was of July 15, 0547UTC, so where can you find if a satellite was indeed over your area at that time in the past? --Hans BX2ABT

Hans,
This is XW2E I believe, it seems that it came back to life, I got same at time this bird was supposed to be over my area.
Also Mike (DK3WN) succeeded to decode its CW telemetry, see his blog http://www.dk3wn.info/p/.

Could you please take a look at this image < http://bx2abt.com/main/data/_uploaded/image/20180715_1747-baffled.png%3E?
I'm new to the VHF/UHF world and I have no idea what this is? Anybody?
